    About the Branch

    Combining the voices of all constituencies, the Student Senate acts upon the needs and concerns of students their organizations.

    The legislative branch consists of the Student Senate. Every spring, the student body duly elects thirty-four senators in Student Government's university-wide elections. Each senator represents either their residency area (e.g. residence halls, apartments, etc) or their primary academic college. That means each student is represented two ways in the senate. Once the new term begins, the senate elects a speaker and vice speaker. Candidates for these roles address the senate at length, sharing their innovative ideas to make the body more efficient and effective. Once elected, the speaker of the senate chairs the rules committee and ensures senators follow the established senate rules. All senators then choose from a range of committees they may join. Together, senators discuss issues relevant to the student body, fund student organizations, and make important appointments.
